The book mentioned that everyone may have bullied, hurt, or killed others in their many lifetimes and accumulated a lot of karma. This karma is the cause of people’s illnesses. If you want to be free of illness, you must cultivate your mind.
(Minghui.org) A joint exhibition of works by four artists, including ink painting, calligraphy, photography, and weaving, was held at Chudong Town, Hsinchu County, Taiwan, in September 2023. Ye Wen-zheng, one of the artists in the joint exhibition, said in his opening speech, “Thank you, Falun Dafa, for saving my wife!”
Ye’s wife, photographer Du Hua-lu, guided the guests through the exhibition with a bright smile. It was difficult to tell that she had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for more than 20 years, as her eyes were bright and her complexion was rosy. She appeared completely different from how she was five years ago. It was nearly the Mid-Autumn Festival and she said sincerely, “Thank you, Master, for saving me!”
Rheumatoid Arthritis Gone After Practicing Falun Dafa
Du Hua-lu was the principal of an elementary school in Chudong Town, Hsinchu County. Her health began to deteriorate when she was only 38 years old. She passed a major life-and-death crisis in 2001. She took many Western medicines and Chinese herbal medicines. The side effects of the remedies included dry eye syndrome, gynecological diseases, and dull skin.
Her weight fell to only 37 kilograms (81 lbs.) in 2018. Her stiff joints made it hard for her to move, and she even had difficulty using the toilet. Searching for help, she suddenly remembered that Lin Suzhen, a senior student at the Normal College, had told her about Falun Dafa. At that time she was focusing on trying various medications so she didn’t think practicing an exercise would help. In desperation she contacted Lin.
Lin Su-zhen explained that her sister had also suffered from rheumatoid arthritis but it was resolved after she practiced Falun Dafa. She asked Hua-lu if she wanted to talk to her sister and Hua-lu agreed.
When they arrived at Su-zhen’s sister’s house, Hua-lu saw that the sister was holding a baby girl. Looking at the sister’s strong hands in comparison to her own deformed ones, Hua-lu was surprised and delighted to see hope, and she immediately decided to practice Falun Dafa.
Hua-lu learned the five sets of exercises and read Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun. Many practitioners enthusiastically helped her and she watched the video recordings of Master’s Fa lectures given in China.
After she practiced for three months, she felt very comfortable so she stopped taking medicines. However, her joints still swelled and hurt.
She spoke with fellow practitioners and found her attachment, “pursuit.” She regarded reading the Fa and doing the exercises as a formality. She thought that as long as she read more and practiced the exercises more, her rheumatism would go away.
Master said,
“Cultivation is done unconditionally though, and things are gained naturally, with no pursuit.” (Teachings at the 2004 International Conference in New York)
After she realized this, she focused on studying the Fa. Only then did she truly see the profound connotations of Zhuan Falun. “This is the great law of the universe. It teaches people to start from being a good person, and reach consummation, Buddhahood. It truly is a ladder to heaven,” Hua-lu said.
The book mentioned that everyone may have bullied, hurt, or killed others in their many lifetimes and accumulated a lot of karma. This karma is the cause of people’s illnesses. If you want to be free of illness, you must cultivate your mind.
After she focused on studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, Hua-lu’s body underwent changes. When she had skin rashes or a runny nose she knew that Master was helping her and removing karma from her body layer by layer, pushing it out like the growth rings of a tree. Her skin slowly changed from being dull and rough to soft and glowing, and her joints became flexible. She said, “Thank you Master for giving me a new life!”
Hua-lu regained her health by practicing Falun Dafa, however, due to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution, practitioners in China have been brutally persecuted, and even had their organs harvested while they were alive. In order to let the Chinese people know the truth, Hua-lu joined a team of practitioners making phone calls to China to tell people the facts about the persecution.
Udumbara Flowers Bloom
Du Hua-lu discovered one day that Udumbara flowers were blooming on the thermometer hanging near the door of her house. The stems of the white flowers were as thin as gold wires, transparent and soft, and each small white flower was shaped like a bell, exuding fragrance. She was pleasantly surprised and knew that Master was encouraging her.
The flowers bloomed for a year. “When auspicious flowers bloom in the world, it means that gods and Buddhas have come to teach the righteous Fa in the world,” Hua-lu thought and respectfully pressed her hands together to thank Master for his benevolent salvation.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.
